Read multiple part Outlook message in reverse order

Guest

I receive many messages that have been forwarded or "replied to all", and
consist of many parts. To understand the message content, I must read from
the bottom up. This involves scrolling to the bottom of the message, then
potentially scrolling up to the start of the last element of the message,
then scrolling down to read it; followed by scrolling up to the next
component of the message, reading that, and so on. I would like to have a
way to immediately display the message components in reverse (chronological
order), so it can easily be read from top to bottom, without having to scroll
up and down to read each component. It would also be nice if this new
display showed each section of the message with hard lines in-between each
piece; each one having a section number. It would be easier then to refer to
a particular passage in further replies or forwarding of the message, for
example, "I agree with the comments made in Section 3, but strongly disagree
with the idea presented in Section 7". (I also think it would make ones'
response nicer than saying "I agree with Terry's comments, but strongly
disagree with Adrian's comments.")

I'd like that, too. The only problem is that Outlook doesn't know about the
"message components". It neiher knows nor cares what the message body
contains (except for purposes of classifying junk mail) and certainly
doesn't recognize it as being in "components".
